Glazed. Covered in a layer of dirt and discoloured varnish. Dirt and debris under glass. Frame rubbing to edges, most notably to the left hand edge where an area of the canvas (approx. 3cm in length) is now visible. A further small area of rubbing is notable just above this. Stretcher shadow in evidence. Widely spaced stable craquelure throughout, most notable to the darker areas of background. Smaller spaced craquelure in evidence in the blue of the dress at the bottom edge of the picture. Push mark from back to front to the left of the sitters head in her hair with associated cracking. Sporadic areas of overpainting in evidence - most notably to the flesh tones of the sitters face, decolletage, her right arm, left hand, and the area of hair around the pushmark, although not exclusively. These areas are visible with the naked eye. The reverse of the canvas is not visible as a backing board has been put on the frame. Not examined out of the frame.
